Rochelle Riley

Readers' Choice

We like to poke fun at Rochelle Riley, especially with her pleasure over the possible election of Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan well before the election season ever began to unfold. Riley does manage to come across as someone with a level head and only the best intentions. She undeniably connects with our readers, even managing to beat out our own Jack Lessenberry for his usual annual honors. Good work, Rochelle.
